PUSH-BUTTON START PRECAUTION


  1. PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING GTS


    1. When using the GTS with the vehicle power switch off, connect the GTS to the vehicle and turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less until communication between the GTS and the vehicle begins. Then select the Model Code "KEY REGIST" under manual mode and enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Entry & Start(CAN). While using the GTS, periodically turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less to maintain communication between the GTS and the vehicle.

  2. PRECAUTION FOR REGISTRATION


    1. If replacing any of the following parts, refer to the Service Bulletin.


      1. Certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly)

      2. Steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator assembly)

      3. ID code box (immobiliser code ECU)

      4. Hybrid vehicle control ECU

      5. Electrical key transmitter sub-assembly

  3. PRECAUTIONS FOR ELECTRICAL KEY TRANSMITTER SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. The electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is a precision instrument. Be sure to observe the following:


      1. Do not subject the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly to strong physical shocks.

      2. Do not keep the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly in a high temperature area for a long time.

      3. Do not use an ultrasonic washing machine to clean the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly.

      4. Do not use the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly near any magnets or magnetized items.

      5. Do not place the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly near magnetic equipment, such as digital audio players, induction cookers, medical devices that generate low-frequency electromagnetic waves, etc.

      6. Do not attach any stickers to the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly.

      7. Do not disassemble the electrical key transmitter sub-assemblies.

      8. The mechanical key should only be used in an emergency, such as when the transmitter battery is depleted.

  4. PRECAUTIONS WHEN INSPECTING PUSH-BUTTON START


    1. General precautions for the push-button start:


      1. Always carry the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly.

    2. The push-button start may not operate normally or the key detection area may decrease in the following situations:


      1. The transmitter battery is depleted.

      2. There are TV towers, electric power plants, broadcasting stations, gas stations or other facilities that generate strong radio waves or electrical noise nearby.

      3. Wireless communication devices, such as walkie-talkies, cell phones, cordless telephones, digital audio players, portable game systems, etc., are carried together with the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly.

      4. The electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is covered by or in contact with objects made of metal, such as coins, certain types of cards, etc.

      5. Metallic film is applied to the rear window glass.

      6. A radio wave type keyless entry system or wireless remote is operated nearby.

      7. An electrical key transmitter sub-assembly from another vehicle is nearby.

      8. The electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is placed near equipment that generates high voltage or electrical noise.

      9. The electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is placed near an electronic device such as a battery charger.

    3. As weak radio waves are emitted from the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly, if a pacemaker is being used, be sure to read the pacemaker instruction manual.

    4. The push-button start will not operate under the following conditions.


      1. The procedures to cancel the push-button start are performed.

      2. There is no transmitter battery or the auxiliary battery is depleted (the LED of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly does not blink when a electrical key transmitter sub-assembly switch is pressed).
